I don’t understand what is going on in our community, one in which I grew up, one that was so beautiful.

In those days we had no shootings and killings. It seemed like everybody had a job and was happy.

Back then, all the kids had to be in the house before sundown. They knew that if they weren’t they would get a beating. Now it seems like the kids don’t care about life, discipline or authority.

In the face of this, law enforcement officers don’t communicate with the community. It is appalling, that I know so few officers personally. One who communicates with our community is Officer Al Garcia. He is just like the old-school officers who would tell you what’s what, and who would take you home when you got in trouble. After all, they knew the parents.

Fort Pierce has changed so much over the years. I don’t know what happened. It looks like some evil curse has come over city.

Mayor Linda Hudson and all the city officials have failed to find a solution to what’s going on in our community. It shouldn’t been State Rep. Larry Lee calling the town meeting. It should be the mayor.

A house divided will crumble and fall. Satan won’t be divided from Satan. City officials are just following suit.
